Its facilities are in the Port of Arenys de Mar, where there is a "Sailing School" and a "Sport Improvement Center". Some Spanish Olympic crews have been members of this club.

One of the former presidents of the CNAM was Agustí Montal and Galobart, who was also president of FC Barcelona between 1946 and 1952.[1]

The CNAM periodically organizes championships of Catalonia, Spain and even international ones of different sailing classes, especially in 420, Optimist and Laser. It also organizes national cruise regattas such as the Interclubs Zone Center Championship in February and the RANC Cup (Royal National Cruise Association) in October. CNAM's dinghies and cruising fleets are present in the main sporting events of Catalonia, Spain and Europe.

On April 16, 2021, the Club's Board of Governors agreed to transfer its documentary collection to the Generalitat de Catalunya for conservation in the Maresme Regional Archive. Between April and June, the transport and destruction of the documentation was carried out, which is kept and classified in the facilities of the Maresme Regional Archive. Previously, José María Martínez-Hidalgo, who was a member of several club boards, had donation to the CNAM library of several hundred books from his private library.[2]
